The Feeding Assessment Tool (FAT) is an extensive instrument aimed at helping individuals, parents, and practitioners better understand the intricacies of eating behaviors including food selectivity.
There are two versions of the FAT: the Food Selectivity Analysis and the Comprehensive Analysis. While the Food Selectivity Analysis targets the attributes of picky eating, the Comprehensive Analysis provides a detailed report including the attributes of picky eating as well as a variety of other eating behaviors.
Examples score reports can be found here.
This tool can be used by speech pathologists, occupational therapists, behavior analysts, or others who deliver individualized feeding therapy services. Practitioners such as nutritionists and dietitians can also use this tool to assist with programming for their clients.
This tool can be used by parents who want to learn more about their child's eating behaviors, including the severity of potential eating problems. The FAT can assist parents with answering the question, does my child need feeding therapy? The results of this tool can also be used by parents or others to advocate for certain services in settings such as schools.
This tool can be used by neurodivergent or typically developing adults who wish to better understand their own eating behaviors.
